The BSA Stephen Winkley Boarding Achievement Award is a
new award to mark the contribution of someone from the 'boarding family'. The
award is named in honour of Stephen Winkley, former headmaster of Uppingham and
Rossall, and former BSA chair. Stephen, who passed away last year, was a
passionate champion of boarding and it is fitting this award has been set up in
his name. We are pleased Stephen's widow, Jenny, and his son, Leo (head of St
Peter's York and HMC representative on the BSA Executive Committee) strongly
support the scheme.

Eligibility and criteria

The award is open to anyone professionally employed in
boarding at a BSA member school. All staff who work in boarding, at whatever
level, are eligible to be considered. Staff need to be nominated by their head,
or, in the case of a head, by the chair of governors. Nominations must be
submitted by March 31st, 2015 for consideration by a small judging panel
including the current BSA Chair and National Director. Serving directors,
officers and the BSA honorary president are excluded from consideration,
although their schools are eligible to enter. The winner of the award will be
announced at the Gala Dinner on May 6, 2015 during the BSA Annual Conference
for Heads.
